PA: Pittsburg Vintage Grand Prix Kick-Off Rallye
July 11, 2021 @ 9:30 AM – 6:00 PM
You don’t have to be a racer or have experience in a rally competition to enjoy our Kick-Off Rallye and help us kick off the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix.
Any car enthusiast can register for a fun but competitive mystery course that will test your driving, navigational, and trivia skills through the Pittsburgh countryside. Paul MacIntyre and Chuck Larouere are excited to explore the backroads north and east of Pittsburgh. Smokey Bones in Pittsburgh Mills will be our sponsor and host restaurant.
The Rallye starts and ends at Smokey Bones. As the cars return to Pittsburgh Mills, the Rallye concludes with a party and awards at Smokey Bones, where participants receive a complimentary lunch and dessert at Smokey Bones. All for fun and the support of our charities!
Chuck Larouere is returning as Rallyemaster in 2021, bringing the latest technology with him. We will utilize Richta Rally so all competitors can download the app for free, and it automatically acknowledges as you pass the electronic checkpoints. No volunteers are required on the course, and it’s all touchless! You will know your score and standing while you drive! Now everyone can enjoy participating in the rally; no checkpoints crews are required. Just like magic!
Instant Feedback – Your score for each leg is shown to you immediately.
Automatic Syncing – All scores and timing information is automatically sent to the rally organizer.
